« on: July 27, 2009, 05:19:35 PM »
I wanted to know for sure what Differntial does a Stock 91 318is come with?
-For some reason i read awhile back that it had a 4.10, but i think i might have read it wrong, if someone could correct me on that... :D

Thanks,
-Mike

Jack up both rear wheels and spin them, if both spin the same direction then LSD..

You can also look at the metal tag.  If it says 's4.10', you're LSD.  They also usually have a large 'S' painted on top of the case.  Hard to see unless you've pulled it.  It might be worn out regardless, the magic doesn't last forever.
